Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2013)

OK its definitely been a long time from the time its been released but hey as i have mentioned i was skeptical.
So Pacific Rim the biggest ocean belt covering 45% of the world countries with their coastal belts. The first time i got fascinated with these Giant Mechs was from the 1980s cartoon ROBOTECH - and the way it was interpreted, man i have to say i dint know there were other earlier cartoons and anime like the Voltron (series) or the very first GUNDAM series.
I have been a fan of Guillermo Del Toro's work for a long time and i got to say the way the story has been told there's no way anyone else could have done it. Giant monsters coming from inter-dimensional portals from the center of the earth instead of space and countries coming together to build robots to battle these monsters all seems a bit childish and out of box even under the current circumstances. But all in the hands of an accomplished storyteller who has many other fantasy works under his belt well, this has to be his best work to date. All the actors involved and their character names all inspired from famous anime series have done their part well. Idris Elba from Luther and Charlie Hunnam from Sons of Anarchy were too good in their parts. A special mention of Rinko Kikochi too who was extremely cute for the role.
But why isn't the movie excellent well because its THE MOST AWESOME DUMB MOVIE OR THE DUMBEST AWESOME MOVIE ever. I mean all way the story dint have to pan out the way it was where i felt as the hero had a fake accent and Rinko sama with her weird accent. Yeah i know their story was will they, won't they format and dint quite get along. But all the way its movie that brings out our inner childhood dreams of Bot VS Monster saga on the silver screen which we needed and has been brought.
Thank you Guillermo because as of now i am waiting for ROBOTECH's turn and Godzilla remake which are along the way. And by the the soundtrack of the movie is simply awesome and the credit has to go to Ramin Djawadi of Prison Break, Game of thrones, and even Iron Man as well. Man if Hans Zimmer isn't going to score for Man of Steel sequel then at least he has to be on board for the soundtrack. Believe me guys i am typing the review listening to this OST.
PS: Don't watch the movie in 3D format but go for it on IMAX format if available or at least on bigger giant screens with better sound effects.
